This nearly got itself 5 stars, but not quite there...yet!…read more Meat & Shake was on my radar as soon as it opened in Ealing, it's near enough my local! We finally got round to giving it a try, and in all honesty I wasn't sure what to expect. The place has mixed reviews, and I had my reservations. I don't think my opinion of a place has changed as quickly as it did here when our starters came out! My doubt turned to joy at the first bite of the hot link sausage, closely followed by an amazing Buffalo wing...I knew we were on to a winner! Mains wise I had spotted one of the best looking ribs I had seen in a long time, so asked the waitress for the same thing. My partner went for a burger and we added chips (with balsamic and mayo)and mac n cheese. The ribs were as stunning as they looked, full of meat, juicy, tasty and all round heaven on a plate. The burger was good, but if you want the best burger in the world go elsewhere. it's the BBQ side of things that make Meat & Shake stand out so I really suggest sticking with that...chicken, ribs, hotdogs etc The chips were amazing, I had never even seen chips with balsamic on before, but after these will be covering them in it in the future! The Mac n cheese was average, nice but in all honesty we didn't' need it...the portions were big and we were pretty stuffed! So food wise this is one of the best meals I have had for the price range it's in, and will 100% be going back. The only thing that really let Meat & Shake down was the service, and it wasn't just us. 3 tables around us were moaning to each other about it as well. The issue wasn't staff themselves, it was clearly there was not enough of them. We waited ages to order, and in the end skipped dessert before I aged another week myself. It's a simple change that would have given this place 5 stars...get some more staff on busy nights, and organise them better! In summary, give this place a visit, and you won't disappointed! Maybe just avoid the hot sauce, as it's lethal!

Thankfully the food was really good. Highly recommend the Hot Links sausage. Most of the bbq sauce stuff is quite fruity which isn't my vibe usually. What really irked me was ordering a bootle of tap water for the table which took 20minutes while the waitress prepped two empty tables with water before us.

Satisfyingly I can add that I ended my food trip with the Buttermilk Blues for breakfast and fresh-squeezed juice. Almost home.

Unfortunately, it's a bit of a trek for me, so it hadn't happened. However, I got a Facebook notice about a special wine and food night they were having: A New York State of Wine. It was showcasing traditional American dishes and New York wines. One thing I learned is that New York makes wine! And some of it is actually pretty darn good! So the food at Blue Plate is American-style food. The evening was a special tasting menu. Most of the courses were quite tasty and well done, and a few needed some work, but I imagine a lot of it is due to the fact that they aren't typically a tasting menu sort of place. The duck meatloaf, red snapper hash, sausages and black bean soup were pretty amazing. If that night was a good showing of what they typically do, I'll be back. I was told by one of the David's (both the owners are named David) that brunch is what they do best. Since it's my favorite meal of the day, I hope one day to trek out to Chiswick to give their brunch a chance!

I asked her for a high chair only for her to roll her eyes and give me sass before showing us our table. I'm honestly thankful we didn't get her as our server. Anyways, our sever was quite nice for the most part. Kept conversations to a minimum which was nice since we were more focused on our families. They give kids activities to do on the table. I think it was a colouring book and crayons. They have a quite large variety of drinks on tap. Most of local but for Canadians such as myself, it was nice to see some drink we were familiar with. We ordered a wide variety of foods including burgers, fish and chips, steak and of mushy peas. Honestly, if peas are your thing, go for it but don't expect much. They have a serve yourself salad bar that comes with basic fruits and veggies and a variety of different salad. For the most part, it's nice for a large group especially families with kids.

DH decided upon the Prawn risotto, while I had the spaghetti with meat sauce and a side salad. DH also had a glass of the house red wine, which he said he enjoyed. I thought my spaghetti was great, while his risotto - need more time, to me, it was raw! While waiting for our food to arrive, two things happened. First, a large family with a raucous band of child were seated next to us. The noise was deafening for a while. Next, I spotted a couple from our tour group and invited them to join us, which they did. Their food arrived shortly after ours, And in the end we all agreed that our meals were pretty darn good.

If you are an expat, this will be your new comfort food craving after your first visit. Our group ordered three different sandwiches and shared many brunch dishes and they were all amazing. They serve their buttermilk pancakes topped with bacon and a generous helping of syrup on the side. The eggs benny came with fries and was delish as well. All of their amazing sandwiches come with an individual pickle that is made in-house. We shared a Chicken Cobb (Corn fed chicken, smoked bacon, avocado, blue cheese, boiled egg, tomato, red onion, lettuce & mayo on 3 slices of toasted white), The Toronto (Slow roasted topside beef, melted English cheddar, leaf lettuce, tomato, pickled hot peppers, red onion, & horseradish mayo on toasted sourdough), and The Medley (Roasted turkey breast, smoked ham, bacon, melted cheddar & emmental, lettuce, tomato, red onion, pickled hot peppers & basil mayo on toasted sourdough). This place is locally owned and the vibe is very laid back. We went around 12:30 on a Saturday and this place was packed. They take reservations so you might want to make some (we did). Overall, I will definitely come back.

Like most American ex-pats, I'm amazed at how the country that invented the sandwich can't make a…read moreproper sandwich. There are few things in the world less appetizing to me than two pieces of pre-packaged soggy bread with one slice of ham drowning in a gallon of mayo that's been sitting on the Pret a Manger shelf all day. In America you only see stuff like that at gas stations, and even there they hold the mayo. In England, they put so much mayo on those sandwiches that it actually gets listed as an ingredient. So whereas you'd have a chicken sandwich with mayo in America, in England it becomes a chicken mayo sandwich. That's just wrong. And nasty. Enter Pickle & Rye. If this place were in Soho or South Kensington then there'd be lines out the door. True Mortlake is in London's upscale southwest and thus home to several affluent American ex-pats, but I feel like that this gem of a sandwich place is missing out on a golden opportunity by being stuck out in the middle of nowhere. It was a trek to get to even from Fulham, and I've got plenty of friends who think that Fulham is enough of a trek already. Or at least that's their excuse for never coming to visit us. This place would merely have to not completely suck to be one of the best sandwich places in London, but it's really taken the art of the sandwich to another level. The owner / head sandwich dude is a culinary school graduate who roasts all their meats, cures his own corned beef (known around these parts as salt beef), makes his own dill pickles (which are easily the best that I've ever had in England) and Russian dressing, with the result being the finest reuben this side of the Atlantic. I will gladly return to the middle of nowhere for another one.

Do many people still go to Blubeckers? I'm kind of surprised that this establishment is still doing…read morebusiness. I'm also a bit disappointed that this is one of the restaurants that tourists visiting Hampton Court Palace virtually walk into when they have done a day at the Palace - it is directly opposite. I suppose if you have spent a cold day traipsing around a Palace, or gone for a walk along the towpath which runs along the Thames, you might be in the mood for some carby, starchy food, and this is where Blubeckers excels; the menu is full of the good old safe standbys of dishes like potato skins, garlic mushrooms, spare ribs, burgers, pies and pasta. Personally this kind of food doesn't do it for me, but obviously it does do it for other people. Take a tip from me - if you want authentic food done properly, carry on walking over the Bridge into Bridge Road, and stop off at one of the restaurants there. Much better food.

The outside and inside decor look like a really terrible American low-quality food chain and I wasn't excited to try it. But! We had the loveliest waitress, very attentive, very happy to walk through the menu and spot on. The guys had banana milkshakes and I loved that they came with little bright green curly straws - cute to see these manly men with their petite straws. The food was really lovely too. One colleague got the hot dog - it was incredible looking, enormous and slathered with stuff. I did think it would be impossible to eat with your hands, but he proved me wrong. My chicken wrap was really tasty and nicely done, and the fries were delicious - possibly the best I've had in a while. When one friend couldn't finish his sausage platter with mac and cheese, the waitress cheerfully wrapped it up for him so he could carry it away. Nice! The music was terrific, a great mix of old blues. So why oh why is there a big screen telly playing current music videos over the bar, complete with naked writhing women and gangsters? Shut it off - you're ruining the vibe you actually got me to like. Is it cheesy? Yes. But it's supposed to be. And it's good. But shut off that damn tv.
